Book excerpt: Jailbreaks, missing operatives, rogue agents, and simmering tension are only the beginning. Kit Cooper never wanted to be a spy. In fact, he'd like to be left alone with his orchards and his plan for the future, thank you very much. The Silver Leaf Society, however, has given him little choice. Gigi Dempierre has spent her life locked away, sheltered from the world outside. This mission is her first and only opportunity to finally break free. These unlikely partners are sent sleuthing on behalf of a realm at war, with no training and no guidance. Left to their own devices, they find themselves alone with their simmering chemistry, no chaperone, and the intoxicating freedom of anonymity. Thrust into the secret worlds of London, from the crime-infested cobbled streets of Seven Dials to the eccentric enclaves of the demi-monde, the pair must don disguises, assume false identities, lie to the authorities, and ... perhaps most impossibly of all ... keep their hands off one another. As they fall deeper into the intrigue of the Silver Leaf, they begin to question their mission. If they are to succeed, impossible decisions must be made. Duty or desire? Freedom or family? Loyalty or love? Uncaging the Silent Songbird is the second installment in Ava Devlin's new series, The Silver Leaf Seductions. If you love sweet and steamy Regency romances, complex and endearing characters, and a touch of mystery, this is the book for you. Grab your copy today!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a book as joyous and painful, as mysterious and memorable, as childhood itself. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings captures the longing of lonely children, the brute insult of bigotry, and the wonder of words that can make the world right. Maya Angelou’s debut memoir is a modern American classic beloved worldwide. Sent by their mother to live with their devout, self-sufficient grandmother in a small Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of abandonment and the prejudice of the local “powhitetrash.” At eight years old and back at her mother’s side in St. Louis, Maya is attacked by a man many times her age—and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime. Years later, in San Francisco, Maya learns that love for herself, the kindness of others, her own strong spirit, and the ideas of great authors (“I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare”) will allow her to be free instead of imprisoned. Poetic and powerful, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings will touch hearts and change minds for as long as people read. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings liberates the reader into life simply because Maya Angelou confronts her own life with such a moving wonder, such a luminous dignity.”—James Baldwin From the Paperback edition.

Book excerpt: A Deadly Debutante Twice engaged and twice bereaved, Rose d'Aubrey is prime fodder for the gossips of London. Though she has resigned herself to a spinster's life in service of her family, she has agreed to return for one final Season, to ensure her beloved cousin has the perfect debut. When it is revealed that there will be no debut at all, but rather a hasty marriage to a wealthy viscount, Rose is tasked with managing the explosive fallout within her family, and rescuing her cousin from a life she does not want. A Venerable Viscount Lord Gideon Somers has dedicated his life to rebuilding his family's honor, often at the expense of his own happiness. When his wild little sister finds herself compromised out of wedlock, he must find a way to mitigate the damage. An old marriage contract, engineered by his drunken wastrel of a father, might be the only way to save House Somers from ruin. What he didn't foresee was the involvement of Rose d'Aubrey, a favorite of the gossip sheets and the only woman he's ever truly wanted. Scandals Upon Scandals An unwilling bride, an explosive secret, and an unresolved infatuation drive Gideon to his breaking point. No longer able to deny his desires, he strikes a devil's bargain with Rose, a proposition that will change both of their lives forever. A mad flight under the cover of darkness sends them racing toward elopement and the unknown. Thrown together, away from the demands of their families and the judgmental eyes of Society, Rose and Gideon find themselves with no one's wants to consider but their own. Years of restraint are tested, secrets unravel, and temptation burns hot in this steamy adventure of duty and desire. The Viscount and the Vixen is Ava Devlin's debut novel, and the first installment in The Somerton Scandals series.

Book excerpt: A hurricane is building over the Gulf of Mexico, threatening the coastal town of Bois Sauvage, Mississippi, and Esch's father is growing concerned. He's a hard drinker, largely absent, and it isn't often he worries about the family. Esch and her three brothers are stocking up on food, but there isn't much to save. Lately, Esch can't keep down what food she gets; at fifteen, she has just realized that she's pregnant. Her brother Skeetah is sneaking scraps for his prized pit bull's new litter, dying one by one. Meanwhile, brothers Randall and Junior try to stake their claim in a family long on child's play and short on parenting. As the twelve days that make up the novel's framework yield to a dramatic conclusion, this unforgettable family - motherless children sacrificing for one another as they can, protecting and nurturing where love is scarce - pulls itself up to face another day.
